      Placement 1 - 156 bedroom property with 13 meeting rooms. During my time in East Midlands I took enquires over the phone as well as qualifying and responding to email enquiries. I regularly kept in touch with my clients and sent out contracts on the enquiry was confirmed. I then worked closely with the client up until the day of the event when I handed over to the operational team to execute the event.Placement 2 - London cluster looking after 7 hotels varying in size and location. I focused on the conversion stage where I dealt with the enquiry up to contracting and then handed over the event planners. This was a much faster paced environment than my first placement. As well as this I was given the opportunity to train other team members and took on extra projects in order to enhance my leadership skills. Show less
